Candidates go quiet. Timesheets go missing.

Fetch: 9 contractors haven't sent this week's timesheet, and payroll closes Friday at noon. I've written each one a reminder with an upload link. Send them?

Sound familiar?

“The candidate went quiet. Again.”

“It's Friday and half the timesheets are missing.”

“Which references are we still waiting on?”

“Two of us called the same candidate.”

“Is this invoice really from them?”

It isn't you. Email was built to deliver messages, not to run the client side of your work. So we built the part that was missing.

An ordinary Tuesday

Every week, every placement

Timesheets and checks, on repeat.

Set the weekly timesheet, the new-starter pack and the certificate renewals once. Rookery asks on time, checks what comes back and shows you who's missing.

No portal, no password

Candidates won't make an account. They don't have to.

Candidates and contractors get an email with a link. It lists exactly what you need and takes a photo straight from their phone.

Each file is checked as it lands: the right document, in date, with a name that matches. If not, they hear why straight away.

Invoice fraud

Fake invoices look exactly like real ones.

Scammers copy a supplier's invoice, change the bank details and add a deadline. Scout compares it with what you've paid before and holds anything that doesn't match.

You stay in charge

Nothing goes out without your yes.

You approve every message. Read it, tweak it, send it with one key. Change your mind? There's an undo.
It shows its working. Every draft says where each fact came from: your notes, a past email, the other person's own words.
Your mail stays private. Never used to train AI, never sold, no ads. Send sensitive things as a secure link you can withdraw.
Trust grows when you say so. Once you've approved a kind of reply often enough, Rookery asks if it can send those itself. Only if you agree.

Questions

Is the Recruiting Feather ready?

We're building each Feather with a small group of early-access teams. Document requests, file checks, reminders, drafts and scam warnings work today. The Recruiting-specific parts arrive during early access, shaped by the people using them.

Does it work with my applicant tracking system?

Not yet. Connections to applicant tracking and payroll come after early access. Today the Feather handles the email, the documents and the chasing.

Can it check IDs and work permits?

Fetch checks a document is the kind you asked for, that it's in date and that the name matches. A person always makes the final call.

Do I have to leave Gmail or Outlook?

No. Keep your email address. Forward your mail to Rookery and reply from it as yourself, or bring your own domain. The people you write to won't notice a thing, except the faster replies.

Will it send anything without me?

No. Every message waits for your yes. If you approve a kind of reply often enough, Rookery may ask whether it can send that kind itself, with an undo window. It only does if you agree.

Is my mail private?

Yes. Your mail and documents are never used to train AI, never sold and never used for ads. Every action is recorded with who did it, and you can export or delete everything at any time.

Get your evenings back from your inbox.

It takes ten seconds. We're letting people in a few at a time, so we can set each one up properly.
